When Chirag Paswan said Kangana Ranaut's USP is that she isn't ‘politically correct': ‘She knows kya bolna hai kab bolna hai'
Kangana Ranaut
might now be more widely recognised for their roles in politics, but there was a time when movies shaped their bond. Before stepping into the political ring, the two worked together in the 2011 romantic drama 'Mile Na Mile Hum', directed by Tanveer Khan.
It was Chirag's first film, and alongside Kangana, the cast included
Neeru Bajwa
and
Sagarika Ghatge
. Though the film did not leave a significant mark at the box office, it did forge a connection between Kangana and Chirag that continues to this day.
Chirag said Kangana isn't always 'politically correct'
Chirag was shown a photo of Kangana in a past chat on an ANI Podcast. With a smile, he called her a 'good friend'. When asked if Kangana could make a difference as an MP, Chirag shared, 'One thing I know for sure is that most of the time she isn't politically correct but that's her USP again.
She talks her…' His light-hearted yet honest words showed the respect he has for Kangana's fearless style.
'She knows what to speak and when'
Chirag didn't stop there. Praising Kangana's sharp sense, he added, 'She knows kya bolna hai kab bolna hai. Ab woh politically correct ho, nahi ho woh debatable ho sakta hai (She knows what to speak and when to speak. But whether it is politically correct or not could be debatable).'
When someone jumped in to say Kangana just says what she thinks, Chirag quickly agreed and pointed out that it was Kangana's 'USP'. He also sweetly added, 'we all like her for this'.
Soon after his debut film, Chirag moved on to a career in politics. Meanwhile, Kangana was last seen in her directorial project 'Emergency'. While the film got mixed reviews, many people loved her performance. Up next, Kangana is all set for her Hollywood debut in the horror drama 'Blessed Be the Evil', alongside
Tyler Posey
and Scarlet Rose Stallone.

'I admire him greatly': James Gunn on Bradley Coopers Superman cameo
Washington DC [US], July 14 (ANI): Filmmaker James Gunn has all the praise for Bradley Cooper, and that is why he decided to cast him in 'Superman', reported Variety. Cooper plays Jor-El, Superman's father, in the opening sequence of the movie. Marlon Brando, the iconic actor, originally played the part in the 1978 film 'Superman'. Gunn stated that he cast Cooper with Brando's performance in mind, knowing that he could maintain the iconic image of Jor-El. "I needed somebody who could play Jor-El, who had the stature of what we imagine that character to be," said Gunn, adding, "Somebody that could walk in the footsteps of Marlon Brando," reported Variety. Gunn earlier worked with Cooper on the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' trilogy, in which Bradley played Rocket Raccoon. The director shared that the bond he developed with the actor in those films made it easier for him to cast Cooper in the recent movie. "He's a friend," Gunn said, adding, "We've stayed in close contact since the 'Guardians' movies, and I admire him greatly as an actor and as a director." Gunn added that he called Cooper and asked, "Hey, will you do me a favour? Come down, go to England, we're going to shoot you in a 3D environment, make a hologram of you, and you can play Jor-El." David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult lead the cast of Gunn's 'Superman" as the titular 'Man of Steel' and the villainous Lex Luthor, respectively. Other cast members include Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Nathan Fillon (Guy Gardner) and Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl). James Gunn's Superman was released on July 11. The movie had a tremendous start at the box office. Gunn took to Instagram Threads to share the opening numbers of the film at the box office. 'Superman' had the third biggest domestic opening of the year, earning USD 122 million over the weekend. The film currently sits at a global tally of USD 217 million, reported Variety. "I'm incredibly grateful for your enthusiasm and kind words over the past few days," Gunn wrote. "We've had a lot of 'Super' in 'Superman' over the years, and I'm happy to have made a movie that focuses on the 'man' part of the equation, a kind person always looking out for those in need." He added, "That that resonates so powerfully with so many people across the world is in itself a hopeful testament to the kindness and quality of human beings. Thank you," reported Variety. (ANI)

Jeremy Renner opens up on his ex-wife Sonni Pachecos allegations, says 'It certainly doesnt feel good'
Washington, DC [US], July 14 (ANI): Actor Jeremy Renner opened up about how his divorce and custody battle with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco, as reported by the New York Post. He talked about allegations during their 2019 divorce proceedings that he allegedly threatened to kill her and himself. "Whatever stress I've had in life, I've tried to find a way of laughing through it," said the actor, adding, "And that's where sometimes cynicism comes out you think, 'I'm just going to laugh at this stuff'," according to the New York Post. Renner continued, "Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody." Renner later shared that Pacheco's claims were not true. "No, and they happen all the time," he shared. "It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings, and it dehumanises people," as reported by the New York Post. The Oscar nominee also explained that he ignored the public's reaction when the allegations first emerged. "It doesn't matter to me what people say," the 'Avengers' star shared. "They're saying it for their own reasons and not for the right reasons or the truth. And I'm used to that, because I'm a public figure. I don't read people's reviews, I don't read people's comments. I don't care. That's not part of my life," as per the outlet. Renner and Pacheco were married for ten months before the model filed for divorce in December 2014. During their subsequent custody battle over daughter Ava, now 12, Pacheco claimed Renner threatened to kill her and once stuck a gun in his mouth and shot into the ceiling while Ava was in her room, according to TMZ. She also reportedly accused Renner of drug use and leaving cocaine on a bathroom counter where Ava could reach, according to the New York Post. However, he denied all of Pacheco's allegations at the time. Pacheco fought for sole custody of Ava, but she and Renner currently have joint custody. "Her mom and I get along very well, and we're in each other's lives," he shared, adding, "It's lovely." Renner also shared that his relationship with his ex-wife is "no one's business." "It's great," he said. "She's got a new baby and she sends me beautiful pictures." Pacheco welcomed her daughter Wylder with hockey player Nate Thompson in March 2023, according to the New York Post.
